Supreme Court arguments day two: “a train wreck” for Obamacare

As the Supreme Court peppered attorneys with questions about the constitutionality of a key component of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul, observers Tuesday paid particular attention to the remarks of Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, commonly cast as the swing vote on the nine-member court as it weighs a decision expected in June.

After the dust settled on Tuesday, one observer called the day “a train wreck” for Obamacare.

Tuesday saw the second of three remarkable days of public questioning of lawyers defending and opposing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act’s most contentious provision – the individual mandate – an unprecedented expansion of federal authority requiring all Americans obtain government-approved health insurance by 2014 or pay a penalty. Backers say Congress was within its constitutional powers to regulate interstate commerce when it crafted the mandate two years ago while opponents, and perhaps the Court, see things differently.

This is very good news as a trainwreck for Obama saves the rest of us from a trainwreck! Now if we could save California from a real trainwreck by killing the high speed train idiocy this would be great! Obamacare was the bad idea of the century, but we must be aware that the idiots in Sacramento have been cooking up a state run version of Obamacare. Want to reduce the population in California? A state run Obamacare scheme will do the trick in a big hurry! I sure would not put up with it and I am sure millions of others would not either! Texas looks better with each passing day!.
